Variety reports that the funeral will take place on Monday, although organisers have not announced the venue. More artists who worked with Davis are expected to attend as well.

Davis built one of the most influential careers in the music business over more than six decades. As head of Columbia Records, he pushed the label into rock music in the late 1960s. He signed and developed stars such as Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana and Bruce Springsteen.

He later founded Arista Records, where he helped launch Whitney Houston into global stardom. The label also became home to many successful pop, rock and R&B artists.

After leaving Arista, Davis started J Records. The label introduced singer-songwriter Alicia Keys, who went on to become one of the industry’s biggest stars.

Many people in the music industry knew Davis simply by his first name because of his lasting influence and reputation.

Outside the recording studio, Davis hosted a star-studded Grammy Week party every year. The event featured performances by top artists and became one of the music industry’s most popular gatherings. The Recording Academy recognised it as an official Grammy Week event in 2009.

Davis died on Monday at the age of 94. The artists expected at his funeral reflect the deep impact he had on generations of musicians and the lasting legacy he leaves behind.

Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, Dionne Warwick, Barry Manilow, Kenny G and Jennifer Hudson will join family and friends to honour legendary music executive Clive Davis at his funeral in New York City.
